Welcome to Day 33 of “90 Days with Ana Marie Cox.” Today Ana talked to activist and veteran Paul Rieckhoff about white men in the middle, the VP debate, two-party politics and then spar over the future of the Democratic party.

I had a very spirited discussion with my old friend Ana Marie Cox for her 90 Days election podcast. If you’re a hardcore Democrat, you’re probably gonna hate it. But I break down why I think Walz and the Dems lost the debate, what they need to do IMMEDIATELY to get more independents to vote for Harris, and lay out the true power and potential of the independent movement—that too many don’t understand and respect. This discussion is important. Especially if you’re in Democratic leadership and wanna hear some hard truth. Or, if you want to hear what I think is the true future of American politics. We also talk a tiny bit about football and Star Wars.
